    Depends what you are looking for? easiest is ST165 brakes.
    Whatever you decide there could be issues, I'd recommend having a shop measure and fit them for you.

    Ok your forum it says you used a Camry front dual piston?? And I read more and you say that the V6 model front brakes have a different bolt patter??? Is this correct

    No, I used ST202 fronts followed by ST165 duals then ST185 single pot 185mm front brakes.
    My advice is to stick with one of those or ST205 and keep the original hubs.

    Yes, years ago I did research other options and documented them, I don't recommend using other hubs, adapter plates etc unless done by a brake professional

    Ohh ok. Right now I am watch/holding on eBay front st205 hubs and also the all Trak calipers. Should I just wait to save up for those?? Ama be spending like around 600$ for everything.

    No, the 205 has bigger disks and 4 pot calipers shown in Alwayz thread.
    I know some guys have also used WRX Brembo disks and calipers on their ST165's but you need bigger rims.
    I'm running 16in rims to fit the ST185 facelift brakes which are also bigger than the ST16x and ST182/202

    Hi guys
    This is the tread I've been dreading, I've been deported from NZ and trying to sell everything asap.
    I have 4 weeks to leave, we are trying to get a OZ work visa organised over xmas, failing that I have to go back to Safrica where my family/friends have either died or left.
    No job & nowhere to stay = ?

    If anyone has any workable ideas I'd be gratefull to hear them as I'm basically f/d atm and low on cash.

    It has been a pleasure knowing you guys the past 10yrs, it is breaking my heart having to throw out everything I've collected and parting with TEMS won't be easy.

    I wish I had a solution but sadly it's all too far away for me to be able to :(

    Please take care of yourself and make sure you get on the forums back again...

    I guess all good things come to an end sometime,
    TEMS was sold to the founder of the NZGT4OC (Craig) who already has a couple of ST185's. https://www.facebook.com/groups/gt4ocnz/
    I have sold up in NZ and currently awaiting a UK visa to go over and help finish the folk's house, then it's back to Aussie later this year where I hope to enroll at Tafe QLD and become a (legal) mechanic next year - http://tafeskillstech.edu.au/course/15828/certificate-iv-automotive-mechanical-diagnosis

    Anyone wanting to meet up in the UK or Brisbane area, hit me up

    So close, yet so far. No funds or possibilities to cross the channel :(.

    Well that depends on visa's, nowdays you can't go anywhere on a South African passport.
    I just forked out NZ$900 (SAR9000) for a UK 3 month visa, considering the airfare is $750 I think that's a joke.
    I still have some stuff in NZ I'm trying to get over here, that's not going to be cheap either.
    I'll be in Reading if that's near to any you, I believe Seank is working in London now.

    Yes I think Sean has a job in London according to what I've read on facebook. I'm in Coventry and Rich ( Alwayzsidewayz) is in Solihull, very near to me, although he drives a gen 7 now.
